“Well, I just called him up and said, ‘I got this song called “Show Me the Way,” and I want you to play on it,” Starr told Rolling Stone. “Because he is a really good friend of mine, he said he’d come to L.A. for it. It’s about [my wife] Barbara. She shows me the way. I wanted it to be very personal.”

“He’s an incredible musician,” the 77-year old rock star continued. “He’s incredible at singing too and as a writer, but for me, as a bass player, he is the finest and the most melodic.”
